MySQL Addon issues

[Jesse Ross-2]

Are there any known issues with the MySQL Addon? I just keep getting  
MySQL connection error (2003), saying it can't connect to the host I'm  
using (I've tried both localhost and various remote hosts, both of  
which are known to work for me).

Thanks,


J.

None that I know of, however, that's not to say there isn't. What I  
would do, is from the same box you have Io installed on, use the  
"mysql" client binary that comes with MySQL, and do a: mysql -u  
username -h hostname -p database and enter your password when  
prompted. If you can connect fine, I would say there is an issue.

I'd try the IP just in case the addon can't resolve the
hostnames...just an idea...I never used the mysql addon :).

Cheers,
Andreas.

Yep -- I had tried that (as well as tried the IP, per Andreas's  
suggestion), and they worked just fine... so maybe there is an issue  
with the MySQL Addon. Can anyone else confirm this? I'm on OS X 10.5,  
using MySQL libs located in /usr/local/mysql (I changed the paths in  
the build.io file to reflect this), and using the latest Io checked  
out from Git last night.


Thanks,
